Although my camaro is in the garage all winter ,I do agree with the fun aspect of winter driving.

The best thing you can do for safe winter driving , is to know how the vehicle handles under any conditions.

How else are you suppose to learn if you don,t do it when it is save to do so.

I test the limits in winter in every vehicle I drive ( accelerating and stopping). Always on back roads with zero traffic.

There is so much to learn in those conditions that translates well to realizing the limits. More grip has the same vehicle reaction but at higher speeds. So you are not surprised if an emergency maneuver is necessary.

We worked on this site. Every time there was 2-3" of snow I was calling all my friends for some donuts
These places plow way too fast as well. In my younger days everyone went to the largest empty lot and did donuts. Half for the fun, and half to learn what to do when your car gets into a skid so you can recover. When teaching my daughter to drive and we went to do this the lots were already plowed

Snow driving is always fun. My camaro doesnt see the snow, because it doesnt have to. I have a 2011 Ram. I hate the traction control in it. It is actually hard to have fun. They only way to disable it is to put it 4wd. I had so much fun with my 89 cavalier and doing e-brake pulls in the snow. Back roads and snow equalled fun.
